App Description

Play 12 games based on Jeff Wayne's award-winning Musical Version of The War of the Worlds!

-- Narrated by Richard Burton!
-- Singing by Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues!
-- Hours and hours of gameplay!
-- 12 different games and game styles!
-- Dozens of video cut scenes!

--- The chances of anything coming from Mars are a Million to One, he said... ---

The original HG Wells story was first published as an episodic adventure for Pearsons magazine in 1897, so in homage we've created a 12-part episodic game adventure of The War of The Worlds. Each beautiful game is based on one of the scenes in Jeff Wayne's Musical Version, and features the music, sounds, and dialogue from the award-winning musical.

--- At Midnight, on the 12th of August, a large mass of luminous gas erupted from Mars and sped toward Earth... ---

Advance the story as you complete each minigame. Start with the Prequel puzzle adventure quest, where you learn how the Martians surveyed Earth. Work your way through different game styles with each Episode, from puzzle to action to arcade games.

Survive the streets of London under attack! Pilot the Thunder Child to keep the Martian Fighting Machine's at bay while Carrie escapes! Hide from the Martians with the Parson! Play cards with the Artilleryman! And ultimately, defeat the Martians.

Featuring the music and sounds of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds, www.thewaroftheworlds.com.
